Sword GRC Software via the Cloud

Cloud based computing – also known as hosted computing – offers the flexibility, scalability and resilience your organisation needs for ‘anytime access’ to a wide range of business applications, without high infrastructure expenses upfront or the need for in-house IT personnel.

Why Active Risk Manager and Amazon Web Services?

Businesses choosing ARM in conjunction with Amazon Web Services benefit from immediate deployment, no shortage of storage space (the cloud provides the equivalent of thousands of servers), and productivity made easy.

Key Benefits

Cost savings

Moving from the capital-heavy expense of installing, maintaining and upgrading on-premises IT infrastructure to the operational cost of an Amazon Web Services hosted drives measurable cost savings.

Software Updates

Sword GRC as an Amazon Web Services partner deals with hardware and software updates, removing a significant workload from your in-house IT department (whose extra human bandwidth can, in theory, be released for different tasks, such as integration with existing on premise applications).

Accessibility

A browser and an internet connection is all that is required to access an ARM application hosted on

Amazon Web Services, which can therefore be made available on a wide range of desktop and mobile

devices (RiskExpress only on mobile).

Resilience

As the IT infrastructure, and your data, resides in the Amazon Web Services datacentre, if a disaster were to strike your business premises, ARM can be back up and running relatively easily from any location with internet-connected computers.

Reliability

With ARM & Amazon Web Services, you can take advantage of a scalable, reliable, and secure global

computing infrastructure, based on the virtual backbone of Amazon.com’s multi-billion dollar online business.

Data mobility

including physical, operational, and software measures. To ensure the safety and integrity of your data, Amazon’s data centres and services have several layers of physical and operational security for ‘end to end’ privacy and security.

Scalable and high-performance

You are not limited to a set amount of computing resources, bandwidth or storage and can scale computing resources downwards or upwards without difficulty and with very little friction. ARM is backed by Amazon’s massive infrastructure, ensuring you have access to computer and storage resources when you need them, in line with business growth.
